Setting Boundaries Moments to Reflect: A Moment To Reflect
People recovering from codependency, adult children of dysfunctional families, and those seeking healthier relationships will find welcome wisdom and inspiration in A Moment to Reflect.
People recovering from codependency, adult children of dysfunctional families, and those seeking healthier relationships will find welcome wisdom and inspiration in the first hour A Moment to Reflect booklets, Hazelden's newest inspirational series for Twelve Step living. Each of these four take-along booklets contains 30 topical affirmations that guide us as we work to improve our relationships. The first four booklets in this series address setting boundaries, letting go, accepting ourselves, and living our own lives. Setting boundaries begins our recovery from the effects of our relationships with addicted, compulsive, or abusive people. As Melody Beattie wrote, "We need to set limits on what we'll give to others and what we'll take from them. We need to let others know where our boundaries are and that we are serious about them. Then, we need to change our behavior accordingly, backing ourselves up with positive action." By setting clear boundaries on our behavior and what we will accept from others, we begin to take back our lives from being controlled by other people's thoughts, feelings, and problems. We claim ownership of and responsibility for ourselves.

This 36 page handbook taught me more about setting boundaries with other people than I had managed to learn in the preceding forty years. from page one: "We have the ability, the right, and the responsibility to choose how we will think, feel and act in every case." What a radical concept for someone whose feeling, thoughts and actions had always been dictated by others.
More than just announcing that, the book goes on to teach one how to make these actual changes, slowly, as part of an experience of maturing.
I reread it at least once every year, to remind myself of all the bits of wisdom it contains.

Good intro to codependency. Lots of great overall life advice and powerful mantras. A great pocket book to have on hand when you find yourself in a difficult situation with others. I would recommend to anyone who is getting ready to reclaim themselves, and is seeking a higher level of health and respect in their relationships.
